Lie To Me Lyrics

Lie to me [Repeat: x7]
Lie

I just want to be numb
I don't want to feel a thing
I don't want reality
Actually, reality stinks
How about we just pretend,

That your cellphone didn't even ring
And that I wasn't on the other side of the door
Listening to everything.
Tell me another lie

I don't wanna know what I know to be true,
What I need you to do, tell me another lie,
I don't wanna know what I know to be true,
What I need you to do, tell me another lie,
I don't wanna know what I know to be true,
What I need you to do, tell me another lie,
I don't wanna know what I know to be true,
What I need you to do, tell me another lie

Lie to me [Repeat: x7]
Lie

Please make me believe
That there is nobody for you and me
When I ask who where you talking to
Tell me it was Kimberly
Tell me the last night you didn't leave
After you thought I was asleep
Crept back in that six-forty five
Tell me it was just a dream

Baby I need, desperately, desperately
To believe you
Cause I won't be held responsible
For what, what I might do
Baby I need, desperately, desperately
To believe you
Cause I wont be held responsible
For what, what I might to do tell me another lie

Tell me another lie

I don't wanna know what I know to be true,
What I need you to do, tell me another lie,
I don't wanna know what I know to be true,
What I need you to do, tell me another lie,
I don't wanna know what I know to be true,
What I need you to do, tell me another lie
I don't wanna know what I know to be true,
What I need you to do, tell me another lie

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

i love how this song captures the raw... in relationships, emotions tend to be so flippin extreme. an once you get to this point- its like you KNOW that the relationship is done but theres still that littlest spark. that 'i KNOW in my heart of hearts that THIS is not what we need to be doing, but i still have heart for you, and im not ready to let go just yet.' so since were BOTH in denial, just tell me what i need to hear so that we can both make it thru this moment.

...no matter how much it hurts, im just not ready to let it go...
